With voters in Quebec set to elect a new government on Monday, some francophones in Manitoba are closely waiting to see what happens when the results come in.

Since the election was called in March, the governing Parti Québécois has seen its support dwindle in opinion polls, in part because of a debate that has surfaced over the possibility of another referendum in the event of a PQ majority.
